Alcohol Tipping Point

Listen to this ATP podcast as we hear from Samantha Lander, a Functional Diagnostics practitioner, certified personal trainer, and holistic lifestyle coach, who shares her inspiring journey from substance use to sobriety. Samantha’s passion for functional diagnostics was sparked by her own health challenges, including adrenal fatigue, food sensitivities, pathogens, leaky gut, and numerous hidden stressors. Despite maintaining a rigorous workout routine and a perfect diet, she struggled with weight issues and knew there had to be a deeper cause. She found an alternative way to heal, rebuilt her health and discovered she didn’t have to settle for feeling terrible.  

Tune in if you’re sober curious, already sober, or seeking solutions for health issues that traditional medicine hasn’t resolved. If you’ve been told your labs are normal but still feel exhausted, bloated, unable to lose weight, or dealing with gut and hormone issues, this episode is for you.

Are you doing Dry July? Confused by all the terms surrounding drinking habits—like ‘soberish,’ ‘dry,’ ‘damp,’ ‘sober curious,’ and ‘mindful drinking’? Join us as Molly Desch returns to the show to clarify these various drinking-related terms. Molly went from “balls to the wall drinking to 100% sober overnight” while I spent YEARS trying to change my drinking.  

We talk about: 

My personal viewpoint is we need things like Dry July and sober curiosity to raise world wide awareness to the harmful effects of alcohol.  

We need safe, nonjudgemental places for people to learn about alcohol and practice not drinking, not shame them into sobriety or send them back to drinking.

My brother, Chris Shipley, returns to the podcast to talk about being alcohol free for over three years. I love these special episodes with my brother, who has been one of my biggest supporters over the years. I’m incredibly proud of him for choosing to change his relationship with alcohol and striving to live a better life. He is an amazing husband, dad, brother, and son. I find these conversations so meaningful, and I think you will enjoy hearing from him as well.

This fall she is releasing her book, The 12 Step Guide for Skeptics.

As an AA skeptic myself, I really appreciated this conversation with Arlina. She shares how Alcoholics Anonymous and the 12 Steps were helpful for her and walks us through some of the more “problematic” steps with a fresh perspective.

In today’s episode, I'm honored to share part of an inspiring story from one of our group members, Sarah Davenport. Sarah speaks wisely about how she’s learning to love and be compassionate towards herself even when she’s not perfect. She offers a powerful analogy about transforming pain, trauma, and shame into something richer and better. (It’s a real mind-blowing, “black gold” mic drop kind of moment.) I think Sarah’s perspective is such a healthy and inspiring approach to help process and release the past. I hope you find this helps you too.
